Je voudrais bien savoir quel est ... is a 1865 ink by Honoré Daumier, a Impressionism work, held at National Gallery of Art.
This lithograph shows three men in a leisure setting. They are dressed casually, with two standing and one sitting. The scene is satirical, commenting on 19th-century French society, which is an interesting aspect of this work, as it highlights the social issues of the time, like class differences and social status, in a subtle way. To learn more about this style, look up the technique: lithography.
Honoré-Victorin Daumier was a French painter, sculptor, and printmaker, whose many works offer commentary on the social and political life in France, from the Revolution of 1830 to the fall of the Second French Empire in 1870.
